CERN confirms new particle.

RE: CERN confirms new particle.
This is fucking awesome! I'm going on a tour round CERN in a week or 2, I'll hopefully bring a camera!

Even then the travel times to all but the nearest stars would be prohibitive. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely on board with opening up the final frontier. What we need is some way to circumvent the light barrier - just imagine a news report showing virtually real-time footage from the first interstellar probe.

Stephen Hawking did say wormholes might be a way of travelling large distances quickly, though there are lots of problems with this.
